I was diagnosed with stage 1 cancer this month [View all]

I'm scheduled to go into surgery--a total laparoscopic hysterectomy--for endometrial cancer this coming Monday. I'm a bit scared and not looking forward to being "spayed", my first major surgery. Fortunately, I made friends with some of my neighbors, who've offered me support, including a ride to and from the hospital. Surgery is expected to be same-day unless there are unforseen side effects.

I underwent all my pre-op tests and they came back withing the normal range, clearing me for surgery. The challenge facing me is the post-op; I'll be on light duty for about a month. I'll need help carrying my groceries, even if they're delivered to my house.
